  6. The End

  7. The snow(by ElanaKoren) This is a booklet for emerging readers. The text includes features that can be used to work on both global reading and phonics. For global reading, it has repetition of phrases (in the beginning of the sentence). In paragraphs 1 and 2, the student encounters the phrase "I sat" 7 times. In paragraph 2, the student reads the phrase "I sat in" in the beginning of two sentences.In paragraph 3, most of the sentences begin with the phrase "I could see". In paragraph 4, every sentence begins with the phrase "I went outside". Therefore, when the students read the beginning of the sentences they practice global reading, which helps them develop speed and automaticity in reading. For phonics, the text has rhyme patterns that can be used to teach the sounds "-ow", "-ight", and about magic e. It is important to teach that sometimes the same sound may be represented by different spellings. In paragraph 1: window, blowIn paragraph 2: night, delightIn paragraph 3: white, bright, fight (white has a different spelling) snow, glow In paragraph 4: light, delight, fight Practicing the reading of those patterns will help students develop speed and automaticity in reading. On every page, there are pictures that illustrate the text and help understanding it. The pictures can also be used in order to tell the story using words and phrases from the text.
